US immigration officers ordered to arrest more people even without warrants (www.theguardian.com)

Officers were also urged to increase apprehensions and think up tactics to “push the envelope” one email said, with staff encouraged to come up with new ways of increasing arrests and suggesting them to superiors.

“If it involves handcuffs on wrists, it’s probably worth pursuing,” another message said.

The instructions not only mark a further harshening of attitude and language by the Trump administration in its efforts to fulfill election promises of “mass deportation” but also indicate another escalation in efforts, by being on the lookout for undocumented people whom officials may happen to encounter – here termed “collaterals” – while serving arrest warrants for others.

"Cool story, still crimes against humanity." - Nuremberg style tribunal we'll need to sort all of this out someday

Not convinced the Americans won't invoke the Hague invasion act before this all comes to a close.

At this rate the whole new world order will be built on trying to prosecute American and Isreali officials.

If we keep going they way we are going, the only Nuremberg Trials we're going to get are when the liberals, democracts, LGBTQ and dissidents will be tried for treason for being "anti-american"
